Well, it would be nice of you to give him some advance notice before Langer shows up on his doorstep. :P

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’m just going to tell Langer that he has the wrong address.

Tell him to hold on just a sec… Langer will be right there.

I will tell him no such thing!

Then he started talking about how we could still use Langer — leadership is what the Stars have lacked!

Wait, so you’re saying there is someone in Dallas who would trade for him back? SWEET! Tell him to hold on just a sec… Langer will be right there.

(And I’m sure your smug superiority never showed through for a minute.)

Wait, now that we mention it, the Devils aren’t like the team in the NHL with the worst captain, they are the team in the NHL with the worst captain.

Turns out, at my new job, there are a couple of hockey fans in my group. I finally started talking to them about it today. I mentioned that I had Center Ice since they traded Nieuwy and Langenbrunner to the Devils. That guy said, yeah, that was such a dumb move back then. Then he started talking about how we could still use Langer — leadership is what the Stars have lacked! I told him that my Devils fan friends would tell him that leadership is what Langer lacks. Heh.

I felt very smug and superior. I hope I hid it well.
